CONSEJOS PARA EL FUNCIONAMIENTO

Acondicionador de aire del tipo múltiple

Esta unidad interior puede conectarse a una unidad exterior del tipo múltiple. El acondicionador de aire del tipo múltiplepermite que varias unidades interiores funcionen en lugares distintos. Las unidades interiores pueden funcionar simultánea-mente de acuerdo con su salida respectiva.

� El funcionamiento se producirá en los siguientes mo-dos.

Modo de refrigeración y modo de deshumectaciónModo de refrigeración y modo de ventilaciónModo de deshumectación y modo de ventilaciónModo de calentamiento y modo COIL DRY

� El modo operativo (ya sea de calentamiento (COIL DRY)o de enfriamiento (secado)) de la unidad externa serádeterminado por el modo operativo de la unidad internaque se puso en funcionamiento primero. Si la unidadinterior fue activada en el modo de ventilación, el modode funcionamiento de la unidad exterior no estarádeterminado.Por ejemplo, si la unidad interior (A) fue activada en elmodo de ventilación y luego la unidad interior (B) acti-vada en el modo de calefacción, la unidad interior (A)activaría temporalmente el funcionamiento en el modode ventilación, pero cuando la unidad interior (B) activeel funcionamiento en el modo de calefacción, la lámpa-ra indicadora (roja) de funcionamiento (OPERATION) dela unidad interior (A) comenzará a parpadear (1 segun-do encendida, 1 segundo apagada) y pasará al modo dereserva. La unidad interior (B) continuaría funcionandoen el modo de calefacción.

Empleo simultáneo de unidades múltiples

Aviso

� Cuando se emplea un acondicionador de aire del tipomúltiple, las unidades interiores múltiples pueden fun-cionan simultáneamente, pero cuando dos o más uni-dades interiores del mismo grupo funcionan simultá-neamente, la eficacia de la calefacción y de refrigera-ción será inferior que cuando sólo funciona una unidadinterior. Consecuentemente, cuando desee emplear másde una unidad inferior para refrigeración al mismo tiem-po, el empleo deberá concentrarse por la noche y otrashoras en que se requiere menor salida. Del mismo modo,cuando se emplea unidades múltiples simultáneamen-te para calefacción, se recomienda emplearlas en con-junto con otras estufas auxiliares, según sea necesario.

� Las condiciones de las temperaturas del exterior de cadatemporada, la estructura de las habitaciones y el núme-ro de personas presentes pueden ocasionar también di-ferencias en la eficacia del funcionamiento. Recomen-damos probar varios patrones de temperaturas para con-firmar el nivel de salida de calefacción y refrigeraciónde sus unidades, y emplear las unidades de modo quemejor corresponda a la vida cotidiana de su familia.

� Si descubre que una o más unidades proporcionar unnivel bajo de refrigeración o calefacción durante el fun-cionamiento simultáneo, le recomendamos detener in-mediatamente el funcionamiento de las unidades múl-tiples.

� El funcionamiento no se producirá en los siguientes mo-dos.Si la unidad interior recibe la orden de activar un modode funcionamiento que no puede llevar a cabo, la lám-para indicadora (roja) de funcionamiento (OPERATION)de la unidad interior parpadeará (1 segundo encendida,1 segundo apagada) y la unidad pasará al modo de re-serva.

Modo de calentamiento (COIL DRY) y modo deenfriamiento (o de secado)Modo de calentamiento (COIL DRY) y modo delventilador

� Durante el funcionamiento en el modo de calefacción,la unidad exterior iniciará de vez en cuando el funciona-miento de desescarche durante períodos breves. Duran-te el funcionamiento de desescarche, si el usuario ajus-ta la unidad interior para calefacción otra vez, continua-rá el modo de desescarche, y el funcionamiento de ca-lefacción se iniciará después de terminar el desescarche,por lo que se requerirá algo más de tiempo antes deemitir aire caliente.

� Durante el funcionamiento en el modo de calefacción,la parte superior de la unidad interior puede calentarse,pero esto se debe a que el refrigerante circula por launidad interior incluso cuando está parada, por lo queno implica ningún mal funcionamiento.

OPERATION

About AUTO CHANGEOVER Operation

AUTO: � When AUTO CHANGEOVER operation first selected, the fan will oper-ate at very low speed for about one minute, during which time the unitdetects the room conditions and selects the proper operating mode.

If the differance between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-ture is more than +4 °F → Cooling

If the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-ture is within ±4 °F → Monitor operationIf the difference between thermostat setting and actual room tempera-ture is more than –4 °F → Heating operation

� When the air conditioner has adjusted your room’s temperature to nearthe thermostat setting, it will begin monitor operation. In the monitoroperation mode, the fan will operate at low speed. If the room tem-perature subsequently changes, the air conditioner will once againselect the appropriate operation (Heating, Cooling) to adjust the tem-perature to the value set in the thermostat.

(The monitor operation range is ±4 °F relative to the thermostat setting.)

� If the mode automatically selected by the unit is not what you wish,select one of the mode operation (HEAT, COOL, DRY, FAN).

About Mode Operation

Heating: � Use to warm your room.

� When Heating mode is selected, the air conditioner will operate at verylow fan speed for about 3 to 5 minutes, after which it will switch to theselected fan setting. This period of time is provided to allow the indoorunit to warm up before beginning full operation.

� When the room temperature is very low, frost may form on the outsideunit, and its performance may be reduced. In order to remove suchfrost, the unit will automatically enter the defrost cycle from time totime. During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATION indica-tor lamp (red) will flash, and the heat operation will be interrupted.

Cooling: � Use to cool your room.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In the event of a malfunction (burning smell, etc.), immediately stop operation, disconnect thePower Supply Plug, and consult authorized service personnel.Merely turning off the unit’s power switch will not completely disconnect the unit from thepower source. Always be sure to disconnect the Power Supply Plug or turn off your circuitbreaker to ensure that power is completely off.

Before requesting service, perform the following checks:

WARNING!

Symptom

Doesn’t operate immedi-ately:

Noise is heard:

Smells:

Mist or steam areemitted:

Airflow is weak or stops:

Water is produced fromthe outdoor unit:

The AIR CLEAN indicatorlamp (green) will begin toslowly flash (as shown inthe figure):

The AIR CLEAN indicatorlamp (green) will begin toflash quickly (as shown inthe figure):

Problem

� If the unit is stopped and then immediately started again, the com-pressor will not operate for about 3 minutes, in order to preventfuse blowouts.

� Whenever the Power Supply Plug is disconnected and then re-connected to a power outlet, the protection circuit will operate forabout 3 minutes, preventing unit operation during that period.

� During operation and immediately after stopping the unit, thesound of water flowing in the air conditioner’s piping may beheard. Also, noise may be particularly noticeable for about 2 to 3minutes after starting operation (sound of coolant flowing).

� During operation, a slight squeaking sound may be heard. This isthe result of minute expansion and contraction of the front coverdue to temperature changes.

� During Heating operation, a sizzling sound may be heard occasionally.This sound is produced by the Automatic Defrosting operation.

� Some smell may be emitted from the indoor unit. This smell isthe result of room smells (furniture, tobacco, etc.) which havebeen taken into the air conditioner.

� During Cooling or Dry operation, a thin mist may be seen emittedfrom the indoor unit. This results from the sudden Cooling ofroom air by the air emitted from the air conditioner, resulting incondensation and misting.

� During Heating operation, the outdoor unit’s fan may stop, andsteam may be seen rising from the unit. This is due to the Auto-matic Defrosting operation.

� When Heating operation is started, fan speed is temporarily verylow, to allow internal parts to warm up.

� During Heating operation, if the room temperature rises abovethe thermostat setting, the outdoor unit will stop, and the indoorunit will operate at very low fan speed. If you wish to warm theroom further, set the thermostat to a higher setting.

� During Heating operation, the unit will temporarily stop opera-tion (between 7 and 15 minutes) as the Automatic Defrosting modeoperates. During the Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERA-TION indicator lamp will flash.

� The fan may operate at very low speed during Dry operation orwhen the unit is monitoring the room’s temperature.

� During SUPER QUIET operation, the fan will operate at very lowspeed.

� In the monitor AUTO operation, the fan will operate at very lowspeed.

� In case of Multi-type unit, if multiple units are operated in differ-ent operation modes as shown below, the units operated after-ward will stop and the OPERATION indicator lamp (red) will flash.Heating mode and cooling mode (or dry mode)Heating mode and fan mode

� During Heating operation, water may be produced from the out-door unit due to the Automatic Defrosting operation.

� After approximately 400 hours of Air Cleaning Mode use, the AIRCLEAN indicator lamp will begin to flash slowly (as shown in thefigure). When this occurs, please stop the system, remove themains socket and carry out maintenance on the dust collectingunit’s air filter.

� After approximately 500 hours of Air Cleaning Mode use, the AIRCLEAN indicator lamp will begin to flash quickly (as shown in thefigure). At this point, Air Cleaning will stop functioning.

CHECK ONCEMORE

Items to check

� Is the Power Supply Plug disconnected its outlet?

� Has there been a power failure?

� Has a fuse blown out, or a circuit breaker been tripped?

� Is the timer operating?

� Is the air filter dirty?

� Air the air conditioner’s intake grille or outlet port blocked?

� Did you adjust the room temperature settings (thermostat) cor-rectly?

� Is there a window or door open?

� In the case of Cooling operation, is a window allowing bright sun-light to enter? (Close the curtains.)

� In the case of Cooling operation, are there heating apparatus andcomputers inside the room, or are there too many people in theroom?

� Is the unit set for SUPER QUIET operation?

� Are the Remote Control Unit’s batteries dead?

� Are the Remote Control Unit’s batteries loaded properly?

If the problem persists after performing these checks, or if you notice burning smells, or the TIMER indicator lamp (Fig. 3 6)flashes, immediately stop operation, turn off the circuit breaker, and consult authorized service personnel.

� If a power failure occurs during TIMER operation, the timerwill be reset and the unit will begin (or stop) operation at thenew time setting. In the event that this (kind of timer faultoccurs the TIMER Indicator Lamp will flash (see Page. 3)).

� Use of other electrical appliances (electric shaver, etc.) ornearby use of a wireless radio transmitter may cause theair conditioner to malfunction. In this event, temporarilydisconnect the Power Supply Plug, reconnect it, and thenuse the Remote Control Unit to resume operation.

OPERATING TIPS

Microcomputer-controlled Automatic Defrosting

� When using the Heating mode under conditions of lowoutdoor temperature and high humidity, frost may formon the outdoor unit, resulting in reduced operating per-formance.In order to prevent this kind of reduced performance, thisunit is equipped with a Microcomputer-controlled Auto-matic Defrosting function. If frost forms, the air condi-tioner will temporarily stop, and the defrosting circuit willoperate briefly (for about 7-15 minutes).During Automatic Defrosting operation, the OPERATIONindicator lamp (red) will flash.

Heating Performance

� This air conditioner operates on the heat-pump princi-ple, absorbing heat from outdoor air and transferring thatheat indoors. As a result, the operating performance isreduced as outdoor air temperature drops. If you feel thatinsufficient heating performance is being produced, werecommend you use this air conditioner in conjunctionwith another kind of heating appliance.

� Heat-pump air conditioners heat your entire room byrecirculating air throughout the room, with the result thatsome time may be required after first starting the air con-ditioner until the room is heated.

Operation and Performance

AUTO Restart

In Event of Power Interruption

� The air conditioner power has been interrupted by a powerfailure. The air conditioner will then restart automaticallyin its previous mode when the power is restored.

� Operated by setting before the power failure.

OPERATING TIPS

Multi-type Air conditioner

This indoor unit can be connected to a multi-type outdoor unit. The multi-type air conditioner allows multiple indoor units tobe operated in multiple locations. The indoor units may be operated simultaneously, in accordance with their respectiveoutput.

� Operation can be done in the following different operat-ing modes.

Cooling mode and dry mode

Cooling mode and fan mode

Dry mode and fan mode

Heating mode and COIL DRY mode

� The operating mode (heating (COIL DRY) mode or cool-ing (dry) mode) of the outdoor unit will be determinedby the operating mode of the indoor unit that was oper-ated first. If the indoor unit was started in fan mode, theoperating mode of the outdoor unit will not be deter-mined.

For example, if indoor unit (A) was started in fan modeand then indoor unit (B) was then operated in heatingmode, indoor unit (A) would temporarily start opera-tion in fan mode but when indoor unit (B) started oper-ating in heating mode, the OPERATION indicator lamp(red) for indoor unit (A) would begin to flash (1 secondon, 1 second off) and it would go into standby mode.Indoor unit (B) would continue to operate in heatingmode.

� During use of the heating mode, the top of the indoorunit may become warm, but this is due to the fact thatcoolant is circulated through the indoor unit even whenit is stopped; it is not a malfunction.

Notice

Simultaneous Use of Multiple Units

� When using a multi-type air conditioner, the multipleindoor units can be operated simultaneously, but whentwo or more indoor units of the same group are oper-ated simultaneously, the heating and cooling efficiencywill be less than when a single indoor unit is used alone.Accordingly, when you wish to use more than one in-door unit for cooling at the same time, the use shouldbe concentrated at night and other times when less out-put is required. In the same way, when multiple unitsare used simultaneously for heating, it is recommendedthat they be used in conjunction with other auxiliaryspace heaters, as required.

� Seasonal and outdoor temperature conditions, the struc-ture of the rooms and the number of persons presentmay also result in differences of operating efficiency.We recommend that you try various operating patternsin order to confirm the level of heating and cooling out-put provided by your units, and use the units in the waythat best matches your family’s lifestyle.

� If you discover that one or more units delivers a lowlevel of cooling or heating during simultaneous opera-tion, we recommend that you stop simultaneous opera-tion of the multiple units.

� Operation cannot be done in the following different op-erating modes.

If the indoor unit is instructed to do an operating modethat it cannot perform, the OPERATION indicator lamp(red) on the indoor unit will flash (1 second on, 1 sec-ond off) and the unit will go into the standby mode.

Heating (COIL DRY) mode and cooling mode (or drymode)

Heating (COIL DRY) mode and fan mode

� During use of the heating mode, the outdoor unit willoccasionally commence the defrost operation for briefperiods. During the defrosting operation, if the user setsthe indoor unit for heating again, the defrosting modewill continue, and the heating operation will begin aftercompletion of defrosting, with the result that some timemay be required before warm air is emitted.
